upgrading to orange

spike1

hey,don't know if anyone can help with this .
At the moment I'm riding a spesh rockhopper and was thinking of upgrading to an orange but I see they're steel frames ,how much heavier if any are they than the one I have .
Was thinking of the crush or p7

Do you need a longer travel. sturdier but heavier frame? Your existing parts may not fit.

sorry,I meant just buying 'up' to an orange or similar,not actually upgrading existing bike

supersonic

First part still applies, does your riding warrant a bike that has more travel? Where do you ride now and what do you think to what you have?

spike1

nah,don't really think I need more travel,ride around epping forest and abouts.
Just want to get myself a better bike around 1k to 1.5k but don't feel I need a full sus

I don't thiink you need a Crush or P7 then. What you have is a good bike! Maybe put some new wheels and a lighter fork on it? Or lighter tyres?

alright cheers for that
